Top 10 Singers that Shouldn't Be on the "Top Metal Singers" List
These singers shouldn't be on the list "Top Metal Singers" because they aren't metal singers.
William Bruce Rose Jr., better known as 'Axl Rose', is an American singer born on February 6, 1962, in Lafayette, Indiana. He Is the founder and lead singer of the hard rock band Guns N' Roses. He is a celebrated but controversial figure in the world of rock. I put him at #1 because he is at #25 on the other list, which is too high for a non-metal singer on a metal list. Obviously too many people believe he's a metal singer but he's not.
But @Metal_Treasure there are some metal songs of guns n roses (I might be wrong though) like Civil War,Paradise City,Welcome to the Jungle which are heavy metal.And axl rose is a good high-pitched singer and also a great screamer.
Great picks Metal_Treasure, did the right thing by putting him here

Brian Hugh Warner, better known by his stage name Marilyn Manson, is an American musician, songwriter, actor, painter, multimedia artist, author, and former music journalist. I added him because I don't really believe that what he sings is exactly metal.

John Michael "Ozzy" Osbourne was born on December 3, 1948. He is also known as ''The Prince of Darkness''. Ozzy is an English singer, songwriter, and television personality. He rose to prominence in the early 1970s as the lead vocalist of the band Black Sabbath. Osbourne was fired from Black Sabbath in 1979 and has since had a successful solo career, releasing 11 studio albums. I didn't add him to this list because he IS a metal singer - he sang some songs that can be considered metal and he deserves an honorable mention on the list "Top Metal Singers".
However, I agree he shouldn't be very high on any lists about best metal singers (but yeah, he's usually in the top 10).
His vocal skills aren't very good, his voice isn't a metal voice, lacks power and aggression, his singing style isn't exactly metal, and so on.
He doesn't even has a good vocal range

Adam Wade Gontier is a Canadian musician and songwriter. He is the lead singer, rhythm guitarist and main songwriter for Saint Asonia, but is best known as the former lead singer, rhythm guitarist and main songwriter of the Canadian rock band Three Days Grace. He's a good singer all but he has more of a alternative rock vibe with his voice then Metal.
He's an amazing singer, but he's definitely not a metal vocalist.
I love his music, but he's not really a metal vocalist.
Stanley Bert Eisen, known professionally by his stage name Paul Stanley, is an American musician, singer, songwriter and painter best known for being the rhythm guitarist and co-lead singer of the rock band Kiss.
Ian Fraser Kilmister, known as Lemmy, was an English musician, singer and songwriter who founded and fronted the rock band Motörhead. He was a bassist and a singer known for his raspy voice. He died in 2015 from cancer and other health problems. I never like his voice.
